SAC. ~eniors reminisce about theirHarding memories When this year's seniors enrolled at Ha rding as freshmen, they probably gave little thought towhat memories they would take with them when they graduated four years later. However, as approximately 685 seniors prepared for graduation during the 1997-98 academic year, they reflected on the memories and growth from their time spent at Harding. Kate Major, a psychology major and Bible minor from Lebanon, Tenn. , said she had many memories to take with her, including all the great friendships she made, how "real and sincere the teachers and students are, the love of God that everyone has shown and the caring, giving hearts of so many people." The generosity of the people at Harding was cherished by April Valentine, a senior social work major from Lexington, Ky. "I am continually amazed by the servant attitude here. Even though it's a Christian school and you expect it, it still amazes me , especially all the money that is ra ised each year for different people in need," she said. Graduates also took with them much personal change and growth, encouraged by the faculty and staff. Dan Stockstill , assistant professor in the College of Bible and Religion, said, "I would hope that Harding prepares students for this life and the life to come." Searcy Hall dorm manager, Sandra Bouchareb, said she had many hopes for the young men and women at Harding, "I would like them, in addition to gaining an education, to know themselves, to want (0 know the Lord deeply, to have a sense of responsibility to themselves and others, to know what they beli eve in and to have a high standard." Many graduates said their years at Harding had served as an opportunity to build upon the va lues and beliefs they held when they came to school, but orhers were moved to change on a deeper level.
